笔试部分
一、阅读理解
A
Every year on October 4th the world comes together for the well-being (福祉) of animals everywhere. This is World Animal Day.
Starting in 1925, the yearly event has become a special chance for everyone who cares about animals to make a difference. In 2022, the theme was “A Shared Planet”. “As we share this Earth with all living things, we can truly make a difference for all animals!” wrote the event’s website.
In the past ten years, China has done much to improve the well-being of domestic (驯养的) and wild animals. The protection of Asian elephants is a good example.
Asian elephants have become endangered because some people hunt them for their ivory (象牙). Asian elephants in China are mostly in Yunnan Province. These wild animals sometimes eat local farmers’ crops. The government has been trying to create a more harmonious relationship between the local people and wildlife. For example, they make rules to stop the ivory trade.
With World Animal Day around the corner, we all can think of more ways to better protect our wild friends. Let’s take action together!
16. What does the underlined word “harmonious” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Serious. B. Friendly. C. Awful. D. Nervous.
17. Why have Asian elephants become endangered according to the passage?
A. Because people caught them for shows. B. Because people hunted them to make medicine.
C. Because people hunted them for ivory. D. Because people kept them as pets.
18. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To ask people to better protect wild animals. B. To ask people to protect local farmers’ crops.
C. To tell people how to care about Asian elephants. D. To tell people more about World Animal Day.
B
Long long ago, when God first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving. Then God pulled the tree out and planted it upside down to make sure it stayed in one place. What’s the tree? It’s the baobab tree, also called the monkey bread tree, bottle tree or others.
The baobab tree is a strange-looking tree that grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name “bottle tree”, it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as an 11-floor building. During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks (树干) sticking up in the air. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later the flowers can turn into fruit.
Baobabs are called “the tree of life”, because they can live longer than 1,000 years old. In the dry land, the baobab can hold up to 120,000 liters of water. Thirsty people can drink the water stored in the tree. The fruit, monkey bread, is good to eat. Baobab leaves are a kind of medicine. People can use the bark (树皮) to make paper or cloth. When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree that some people could hardly live without it.
19. How does the writer begin the text?
A. By asking a question. B. By showing a story.
C. By singing a song. D. By giving an example.
20. Which of the following pictures is the baobab in the dry season?
A. B. C. D.
21. Which word is close to the meaning of the underlined word “hollow” in paragraph 3?
A. Dirty. B. Modern. C. Empty. D. Useful.
22. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. God and the Baobab.
B. What Does the Baobab Like in a Year?
C. Baobab’s Trunks, Leaves and Fruit.
D. A Special Tree—the Baobab.
C
What would you do if your best friend and you have different ideas? At first, I didn’t know what to do when I found that my best friend Karina disagreed (不同意) with me on some things.
When we first met in a summer camp, we got along so well.
But then something happened at a picnic.“Did you hear about the shopping center news?” asked one of our friends Levar. “They want to cut down lots of trees to make room for a shopping center.”
“That’s terrible! We have to stop that,” I said.
“I disagree,” said Karina. “The shopping center would offer new jobs to people in need”
“But animals would lose their homes!” I said. “I want people to have jobs, but it doesn’t mean cutting down trees.”
I wished Karina could agree with me about saving the trees, but she had her reason for believing what she said. I was so angry that I didn’t talk to her for days.
Later, my mother knew it and said to me, “No two people are the same.You should respect (尊重) each other. And no matter what happens, the difference doesn’t mean losing a good friend.”
After listening to my mom’s words, I said sorry to Karina and we are still good friends now.
23. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By telling a story. B. By listing some numbers.
C. By asking a question. D. By showing some ways.
24. According to the passage, what is building the shopping center good for?

The first kind of friend is simply the acquaintances (熟人). All you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, at work , or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. ____37____ That is why they are called “pest friends”.
The second kind of friend could also be called “social partners”. ____38____ You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories. You usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears, and they don’t open up to you about how they really feel.
The last kind of friend, the “best friend”, is the one you knew the deepest. ____39____ You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. ____40____ Sometimes they may not be perfect, but at least they will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意的) to hurt you.

But I think friends are like books—You don’t need a lot of ____46____ (they) as long as they’re good.
Huang Lei:
My best friend Larry is quite different from me. He is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always ____47____ (win).

Mary Smith:
I don’t ____50____ (real) care if my friends are the same as me or different. My favourite ____51____ (say) is, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny.
五、阅读表达
Do you like to travel alone (独自旅行) ? Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on.
Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you find the inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you have. And it also gives you time to think and learn.
It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely (孤独的). Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel as a one-person team, you can enjoy the most interesting part of travel—talking with the locals (当地人) and meeting travelers from all over the world.
In fact, traveling to know about the world is not easy. There’s lots of information to look up, tickets to buy, and things like these. And there’s another thing to worry about: Things can and often do go wrong. One of the greatest things about traveling with friends is being able to help each other.
It’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety (安全感). You know that if you get lost or get things lost, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to tell it to the police in another country.
There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or with friends, it’s up to you.
52. What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指代)?
__________________________________________________________
53. What is the most interesting part of traveling alone?
__________________________________________________________
54. What does the writer think about traveling to know about the world?
__________________________________________________________
55. What is good about traveling with friends?
__________________________________________________________
56. Do you like to travel alone or with your friends ? Why?
__________________________________________________________
六、书面表达
57. “读万卷书,行万里路”。旅行可以帮助我们开拓视野、结交朋友、了解不同的文化,从而丰富自己的人生阅历。假设你是王红,某英语报社正在组织以“Travelling”为题的征文活动,请你根据以下提示写一篇英语短文。

Sometimes in the afternoon, I could even see eagles flying in the sky. However, I can seldom see the eagles and swallows now. The number of the sparrows is getting smaller. Only some of them sing in the morning. Why are there fewer and fewer birds today? First, I think it is because the environment is becoming worse now. The birds can’t find enough food for themselves and their babies. Second, I think it is because people often kill them for food. Without the birds around, we won’t feel happy anymore. So we must protect them. Why don’t we do something to help them today?

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了世界动物日的相关信息,以及中国在保护亚洲象等野生动物方面所做的努力,并呼吁大家一起行动保护野生动物。
【16题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“These wild animals sometimes eat local farmers’ crops. The government has been trying to create a more harmonious relationship between the local people and wildlife. For example, they make rules to stop the ivory trade.”可知,野生动物有时吃农民的庄稼,政府制定规则阻止象牙交易,是为了创造当地人和野生动物之间更友好的关系,所以“harmonious”的意思是“友好的”,与Friendly“友好的”意思一致。故选B。
【17题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Asian elephants have become endangered because some people hunt them for their ivory (象牙).”可知,亚洲象因为人们猎取它们的象牙而濒临灭绝。故选C。
【18题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文讲述了世界动物日,以及中国在保护野生动物方面所做的努力,呼吁大家一起行动保护野生动物。故选A。
B
Long long ago, when God first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving. Then God pulled the tree out and planted it upside down to make sure it stayed in one place. What’s the tree? It’s the baobab tree, also called the monkey bread tree, bottle tree or others.

When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks. It is such a useful tree that some people could hardly live without it.
19. How does the writer begin the text?
A. By asking a question. B. By showing a story.
C. By singing a song. D. By giving an example.
20. Which of the following pictures is the baobab in the dry season?
A. B. C. D.
21. Which word is close to the meaning of the underlined word “hollow” in paragraph 3?
A. Dirty. B. Modern. C. Empty. D. Useful.
22. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. God and the Baobab.
B. What Does the Baobab Like in a Year?
C. Baobab’s Trunks, Leaves and Fruit.
D. A Special Tree—the Baobab.
【答案】19. B 20. A 21. C 22. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文,主要介绍了猴面包树的别称、外形特征、不同季节的形态、寿命以及多种用途,点明它是实用价值很高的“生命之树”。
【19题详解】
根据文章第1段“Long long ago, when God first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving. Then God pulled the tree out and planted it upside down to make sure it stayed in one place.”可知,作者在文章开篇讲述了上帝种树的传说故事,以此引出说明对象,因此作者是以展示故事的方式开篇的。
【20题详解】
根据文章第2段“During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks sticking up in the air.”,结合前文“it looks like a large bottle”可知,旱季的猴面包树树干粗壮呈瓶状,没有叶片,只有树干枝桠立在空中,对应图片A的形态。
【21题详解】
根据文章第3段“An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks.”可知,年老的猴面包树树干内部可以容纳人、建造房屋,说明树干内部是空的,因此划线词“hollow”与“Empty”意思相近。
【22题详解】
全文围绕猴面包树展开,介绍了它的外形特点、生长特性以及多种用途,突出了它的独特性,因此“A Special Tree—the Baobab”最适合作为文章标题。
C

三、阅读短文,从方框中选出合适的选项填入空白处,使短文意思通顺,有二项是多余的。
Do you have true friends? Do you want to know better between you and your friends? There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends” “guest friends”, and “best friends”.
The first kind of friend is simply the acquaintances (熟人). All you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friend at school, at work , or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. ____37____ That is why they are called “pest friends”.
The second kind of friend could also be called “social partners”. ____38____ You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories. You usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears, and they don’t open up to you about how they really feel.
The last kind of friend, the “best friend”, is the one you knew the deepest. ____39____ You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. ____40____ Sometimes they may not be perfect, but at least they will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意的) to hurt you.
____41____ We should value (重视) all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances.
A. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as best friends.
B. You have to keep secrets to yourself.
C. They will help you with your life problems.
D. You’re like family, and know everything about each other.
E. When this kind of friend does something bad, you don’t tell them.
F. We all have our pest, guest, and best friends.
G. They will correct you when you’re wrong.
【答案】37. E 38. A 39. D 40. G 41. F
【解析】
【导语】本篇是说明文,主要介绍三种不同类型的朋友:pest friends、guest friends 和 best friends。
【37题详解】
上文介绍第一种朋友只是熟人,不在身边你不会想念他们,后文“这就是他们被叫做 pest friends 的原因”。E选项“When this kind of friend does something bad, you don’t tell them.”说明这类朋友做坏事你也不会去指出来,解释该称呼由来,承接上下文,语义连贯。
【38题详解】
上文提到第二种朋友也叫“social partners”,后文介绍你知道他们的名字、喜好,但是不会交流深层内容。A选项“They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as best friends.”对比说明这类朋友的亲密程度,承接上下文,语义连贯。
【39题详解】
上文提到最后一种“best friend”是你了解最深的朋友,后文说可以在彼此家中留宿,分享内心深处的感受想法。D选项“You’re like family, and know everything about each other.”描述挚友之间如同家人、彼此熟知的状态,承接上下文,语义连贯。
【40题详解】
上文讲述挚友之间可以分享最深的感受想法,后文说他们或许不完美,但总会关心你,不会故意伤害你。G选项“They will correct you when you’re wrong.”说明挚友会在你犯错时纠正你,属于挚友的特点,承接上下文,语义连贯。
【41题详解】
后文讲我们应当珍惜所有友谊,所有挚友都是从熟人开始的。F选项“We all have our pest, guest, and best friends.”总结前文,说明我们都会拥有这三类朋友,承接上下文,语义连贯。
四、语法填空
Jeff Green:
My mother told me a good friend is ____42____ a mirror. I’m quieter and ____43____ (serious) than most kids. That’s ____44____ I like reading books and I study harder in class. My best friend Yuan Li is quiet, too, so we enjoy ____45____ (study) together. I’m shy so it’s not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends are like books—You don’t need a lot of ____46____ (they) as long as they’re good.
Huang Lei:
My best friend Larry is quite different from me. He is taller and more outgoing than me. We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always ____47____ (win). However, Larry often helps ____48____ (bring) out the best in me. So I’m getting better at tennis. Larry is ____49____ (more) less hard—working, though.
Mary Smith:
I don’t ____50____ (real) care if my friends are the same as me or different. My favourite ____51____ (say) is, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny.
【答案】42. like
43. more serious
44. why 45. studying
46. them 47. wins
48. to bring##bring
49. much 50. really
51. saying
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,Jeff、Huang Lei、Mary三个人分别介绍自己对朋友的理解以及自己好朋友的特点。
【42题详解】
句意:妈妈告诉我好朋友就像一面镜子。本空后面接名词a mirror,此处需要介词表达“像”的含义,介词like可用于类比,引出比喻对象。
【43题详解】
句意:我比大多数孩子更安静、更严肃。所给词serious为形容词,句中出现比较标志词than,形容词要使用比较级。serious是多音节形容词,比较级变化形式为more serious,和前面quieter形成并列的比较结构。
【44题详解】
句意:那就是为什么我喜欢读书并且在课堂上更加努力学习。This/That’s why…为常用句式,why引导表语从句,用于引出前文现象带来的结果,解释事情发生的缘由。
【45题详解】
句意:我最好的朋友袁莉也很安静,所以我们喜欢一起学习。所给词study为动词,动词enjoy后接动作时,后面需要接动名词作宾语,enjoy doing表达“喜爱做某事”,study变动名词形式studying。
【46题详解】
句意:你不需要很多朋友,只要他们是益友就足够了。所给词they是人称代词主格,介词of后面要使用人称代词宾格作介词宾语,they对应的宾格形式是them。
【47题详解】
句意:我们都喜欢运动,但是他网球打得更好,所以他总是赢。所给词win为实义动词,频度副词always标志句子为一般现在时,主语he属于第三人称单数,谓语动词要使用第三人称单数形式 wins。
【48题详解】
句意:然而,Larry经常帮助激发出我最好的一面。所给词bring为动词,动词help之后可以接不带to的不定式,也可以接带to的不定式,构成 help (to) do sth结构,表达“帮助做某事”。
【49题详解】
句意:不过,拉里远没有那么用功。所给词more,后面less hard‑working已经是形容词比较级,修饰比较级用来加强程度,表达“……得多”,选用程度副词much。
【50题详解】
句意:我并不真的在意我的朋友和我一样还是不同。所给词real是形容词,本空用来修饰动词care,修饰动词需要使用副词,real对应的副词形式是really。
【51题详解】
句意:我最喜欢的谚语是:患难见真情。所给词say是动词,本空在形容词favourite之后作句子主语,需要填入名词,saying可表示“谚语、格言”。
五、阅读表达
Do you like to travel alone (独自旅行) ? Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on.
Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you find the inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you have. And it also gives you time to think and learn.
It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely (孤独的). Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel as a one-person team, you can enjoy the most interesting part of travel—talking with the locals (当地人) and meeting travelers from all over the world.
In fact, traveling to know about the world is not easy. There’s lots of information to look up, tickets to buy, and things like these. And there’s another thing to worry about: Things can and often do go wrong. One of the greatest things about traveling with friends is being able to help each other.
It’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety (安全感). You know that if you get lost or get things lost, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to tell it to the police in another country.
There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or with friends, it’s up to you.
52. What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指代)?
__________________________________________________________
53. What is the most interesting part of traveling alone?
__________________________________________________________
54. What does the writer think about traveling to know about the world?
__________________________________________________________
55. What is good about traveling with friends?
__________________________________________________________
56. Do you like to travel alone or with your friends ? Why?
__________________________________________________________
【答案】52. Traveling alone.
53. Talking with the locals and meeting travelers from all over the world.
54. It’s not easy./It’s difficult.
55. You can help each other and traveling with friends gives you a sense of safety.
56. I like to travel alone better, because I can become more independent by dealing with everything by myself./ I like to travel with friends, because I can share things with them and I have at least one person to depend on.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了独自旅行和与朋友一起旅行的各自优缺点,表明旅行方式没有对错之分,取决于个人选择。
【52题详解】
根据文章第2段“Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of… And it also gives you time to think and learn.”可推知划线单词it指代前文提到的独自旅行。
【53题详解】
根据文章第3段“When you travel as a one-person team, you can enjoy the most interesting part of travel—talking with the locals (当地人) and meeting travelers from all over the world.”可推知最有趣的部分是与当地人交谈和遇见世界各地的旅行者。
【54题详解】
根据文章第4段“In fact, traveling to know about the world is not easy.”可推知作者认为通过旅行了解世界并不容易。
【55题详解】
根据文章第4段“One of the greatest things about traveling with friends is being able to help each other.”和第 5 段“It’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety (安全感) .”可推知与朋友同行的好处是可以互相帮助且更有安全感。
【56题详解】
开放性试题,言之有理即可。根据个人观点作答,需说明理由。
六、书面表达

Now the number of the sparrow is getting smaller, only some of them singing in the morning. Why are there fewer and fewer birds today?
